So, it turned out i didn't have enough time to pull the carb off. Instead I replaced the spark plugs, ignition cables and fuel filter. Actually there was NO fuel filter to begin with!

Anyway, I believe the new plugs and cables have helped with the power issue but now the truck seems to be idling worse. It feels like it could stall out at any second. Could the installation of the fuel filter change the air/fuel ratio? I read in another post that when the air/fuel ratio is not right, it will idle too low.

I've never adjusted this ratio before, any tips?

thanks!
